Thousand Guineas Form Guide

The Thousand Guineas form guide features all the info punters need to place a well-informed wager on the mile showdown including the saddlecloth number, barrier, trainer and jockey of all the fillies in the field.

Looking for a runner drawn between barriers 4 – 6 is a good tip as these gates have produced the most winners in recent years, while just two winners have jumped from double digits in the past decade with Serious Speed (10 in 2007) and Amphitrite (15 in 2018).

Since 2008 five last start winners have gone on to win the Thousand Guineas including Guelph (2013) who took out the Flight Stakes – Thousand Guineas double, subsequently completed by Global Glamour (2016). Before her the last Thousand Guineas champ to come via the other Group 1 was Yosei (2010) who ran sixth in the Flight Stakes before winning the Thousand Guineas as a 10/1 chance.

Thousand Guineas Form Facts

• Serious Speed (2007) was the last winner to jump from a double-digit Thousand Guineas barrier before the success of Amphitrite (2018) from the outside alley (15)
• From 2006 – 2019 seven favourites in Thousand Guineas betting have saluted for the punters
• In that time four Thousand Guineas winners started at double-figures with Yosei ($11 in 2010), Commanding Jewel ($10 in 2012), Aloisia ($14 in 2017) and Amphitrite ($13 in 2018)
